Victorian Christmas(es)

One of my favorite Christmas stories is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. For me, it’s a story that cements a connection between Victorian England and the holiday forever in my mind. So, for this Christmas Eve, I thought I would write about a couple of Victorian England and Christmas related things that I’ve seen or read recently.

Scary Godmother

Jill Thompson’s Scary Godmother series is something of a Halloween touchstone for us. I’ve been a fan of the graphic novels and comics since she first created the character in 1997. While we took a bit of a break from watching the TV specials every year, we’ve put them back into our Halloween viewing rotation. The stories of Scary Godmother and her friends occupy a pretty unique niche in terms of Halloween stories, and that’s why I love them.
